Body weight:
All control animals and surviving animals gained body weight in a normal manner during the post exposure period.

Gross pathology:
Animals that died during the exposure consistently showed moderate to severe haemorrhage in large areas of the lungs. Rats also exhibited extremely dark livers. Control animals sacrificed at study termination also exhibited a slight incidence of dark foci in the lungs.

Several toxicological effects including death were observed during the 6 hour exposure period. All ten rats died during the 6 hours exposure period. Rats exhibited hypoactivity and dyspnoea at 45 minutes of exposure. The sequence of events included hyperactivity, hypoactivity, ataxia, salivation, dyspnoea, tremors, tonic or clonic-tonic convulsions interspersed with periods of mortality. Rats also exhibited clonic convulsions and fasiculations. All control animals and surviving animals gained body weight in a normal manner during the post exposure period. Animals that died during the exposure consistently showed moderate to severe haemorrhage in large areas of the lungs. Rats also exhibited extremely dark livers. Control animals sacrificed at study termination also exhibited a slight incidence of dark foci in the lungs.

Conclusions:
All ten rats died during the six hour exposure period. Based on this mortality data, it may be inferred that the test material is lethal to male Sprague-Dawley rats a concentration of 28 mg/L.
Executive summary:

In an acute inhalation toxicity assay, ten male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to nonene vapours for six hours. All animals were weighed prior to exposure and again on day 7 and 14. Animals were observed for gross signs of toxicity during exposure and daily until study termination. Surviving animals were sacrificed at study termination and all animals, including animals that died prior to study termination, were necropsied and all organs were examined for macroscopic changes. Lungs, kidneys, liver and trachea were stored for histopathological examination if needed. 

 Several toxicological effects including death were observed during the 6 hour exposure period. All ten rats died during the 6 hours exposure period. Rats exhibited hypoactivity and dyspnoea at 45 minutes of exposure. The sequence of events included hyperactivity, hypoactivity, ataxia, salivation, dyspnoea, tremors, tonic or clonic-tonic convulsions interspersed with periods of mortality. Rats also exhibited clonic convulsions and fasiculations. All control animals and surviving animals gained body weight in a normal manner during the course of the study. Animals that died during the exposure consistently showed moderate to severe haemorrhage in large areas of the lungs. Rats exhibited extremely dark livers. Control animals sacrificed at study termination also exhibited a slight incidence of dark foci in the lungs. Based on the mortality data, it may be inferred that the test material is lethal to rats at a concentration of 28 mg/L. The study authors reported a LT50 of 265 minutes for rats.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as “reliable with restrictions” because this study was not conducted according to GLP, but was conducted similar to OECD TG 403, with deviations.
